Placement for Soliloquy speakers

565 divided by 15 = 37, the lowest frequency the room can handle. The speakers go to 30hz, so it is likely, if the source material is not boomy bass heavy, that your setup is too much in the corners (the worst possible place for accurate bass response).

Also, walk around the room to hear if you are just sitting in a high pressure room mode. Do not sit against the rear wall, but a couple feet into the room at least. If speakers are 30" in from the head wall, and you sit the same from the rear, gives you approx. 7' from speakers. Perhaps a 7' unilateral triange is best anyway. 8 at most.

BTW 3' from side wall on a 15' wall puts them 9' apart. Why so much. If they have a first order crossover, the recommended seperation is 8', if not even less (6-7')

Then try moving them a foot or two at time and see what happens.

This is price you pay for enclosed cabinet speakers. The dipole designs do not create these problems. I am a little surprised you get boomy bass with 2-5" woofers.

Didactically-NICE ANSWER!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks. I have a very basic question. In deciding on placement, should I measure from the middle of the speaker, the front, the back or what? Thanks again,

TLH

Didactically, what is the 565 you mentioned? I'm learning also. Thanks.

I own the 5.0 monitors, but auditioned a broken in pair of 5.3's in my room which is very similar to yours. I had them out from the back wall ~4-5 feet and they sounded pretty good, not really boomy. If you have a chance at them, the 6.3's are better balanced than the 5.3's.
